Review: Epson EH-TW5500 Full HD 3LCD Projector Review

April 7, 2010 Reviews No Comments

Epson has produced some fine home cinema projectors in the past and their latest range aims to carry on that tradition. The TW5500 we have here today for review is at the top of that new range with a larger contrast ratio plus claimed improved dynamic range and black levels. So, does LCD still cut the mustard for reference home cinema viewing? We are about to find out…

Phil Hinton looks in-depth at the Epson EH-TW5500 and you can read the full review at AVForums.com/Reviews

“There is no doubting that the Epson EH-TW5500 is a mighty fine performer that when calibrated offers some of the best projected images available under £5k. It has its slight niggles here and there and not quite the black levels to better the likes of the JVC HD550 it directly competes with. However, saying that, the TW5500 offers more realistic and accurate images because of its calibrated results over the JVC. So, its going to be an interesting choice to make for those looking for a projector at this price point.”

Review: AVFoundary VideoEQ Pro

Anyone familiar with the reviews we write for AVForums will know how important it is for displays such as TVs and Projectors to produce accurate greyscale and colour accuracy.

Review: LG 15EL9500 OLED HDTV

OLED TV, it’s the future. Well that is what we’ve been told for the last 5 years, at least. However, it seems to have taken longer than anticipated for the technology to mature and develop and yet, even now, large screen sizes are still technically difficult to manufacture, with an acceptable lifespan and failure rate. [...]

Review: Philips 37PFL7605 LED LCD HDTV

Philips has had a habit of doing things their own way and releasing TVs with features not seen from any other manufacturer. Just look at their 21:9 LCD TV, for example. But doing things your own way can sometimes fly in the face of how things should be done. So with that in mind we [...]

Review: Onkyo TX-SR608 AV Receiver

Everybody wants everything these days. Each year the consumer electronics industry feeds us with new reasons to render our latest pride and joy obsolete, which gives us ever-lengthening lists of features that (we think) we need. The problem is that expectations are so high we get upset when we don’t get it. Receivers seem to [...]

Review: Sharp LC-40CT2E LCD HDTV

With all the ‘Quattron’ advertising in the press and online, and with Sulu on the TV, you could be forgiven for thinking that Sharp were repositioning themselves as a high-end, high price, brand. But as you can see from the model we have here for review, the Aquos range of TVs for 2010 also includes [...]
